Nandu learning from senior men as 2nd youngest Captain in Super50 history

At 22 years old, Matthew Nandu is the second youngest captain in West Indies Super50 history, after the great Brian Lara.
The Guyana Harpy Eagles leader, Nandu, has had a quiet season thus far, with rain affecting most of the games played in Trinidad and Tobago during this tournament.

Despite the unfavourable results on most occasions, Nandu has shown solid leadership skills. He credited the senior men around him in the Guyana Harpy Eagles setup.
When asked how difficult it is being the second youngest captain in Super50 history, Nandu said, “I would not say it is difficult. I have had the support from the senior men, and I am grateful for that. So, I am trying to learn as much as I can moving forward.”
Reflecting on the crunch match against Trinidad and Tobago, Nandu said Guyana did not get the ideal start with the bat. He credited Gudakesh Motie and Keemo Paul for their late assault with the bat.
“We did not get the start with the batting. But I must commend Motie and Keemo for giving us a good total. We felt we could have restricted them once things went away with the bowling,” Nandu added.
Meanwhile, the confident young man, who scored a 54 on his captaincy debut last week, said he always backed his bowlers, but the inclement weather could have upset their rhythm.
“We backed our bowlers 100 per cent to get the job done for us, but the rain came down. It is important to stay together as a unit. After a loss it is easy for men to drift away. But we have to be together as a group and be strong,” the Guyana skipper explained. (Brandon Corlette)
